Celebrate You Card for the Global Design Project

This is my take on the Global Design Project#133 here.
It's a color challenge to use Crumb Cake, Night of Navy and Tranquil Tide.

The words are from the Celebrate You Thinlits.  And then I added some 3/8 inch Crumb Cake classic weave ribbon.

Here's my recipe:
Stamps: none
Papers: Watercolor, Crumb Cake, Tranquil Tide, Night of Navy
Inks: Crumb Cake, Tranquil Tide, Night of Navy
